signs

It's easy to make fun of quirky English abroad. But however bad, their English is going to be a lot better than my sad attempts at the local languages, so no cheap laughs.

However, sometimes you come across a sign that is so mystifying that you feel you are missing something in the culture. Here are a few I spotted on my trip.

1. Paraphernalia - the scourge of Hong Kong

2. Thailand and the horrors of doll dangling

3. A new addition to the traditional greetings in Thailand

4. Strange things to do with stalactites in Vietnam

5. A bar that failed to live up to its promise in Bhutan

6. They will sell anything in some restaurants
